My name is Dr. Endre Sos, and I will tell you shortly, how to identify a rabbits gender. If you compare the younger rabbit to an older one, of course, identifying the gender is different. And in an older animal, sometimes the first glance will tell you about the gender of the animal. The box are usually bigger, they have a blockier head, and sometimes they have a dulap under the chin. But on the other hand, in younger animals, sometimes the gender determination can be tricky but not difficult. If you are going to determine the gender, be aware of the fact that the animals has very sharp nails, so be careful, because they can just cause injuries. And examine the ventral of the animal. The ventral of the animal is different in different genders, and the box has a tube, which is pointed at the end, it's pinkish in adult animals, and can be whitish in younger animals. As well as in the females, in the duce, there is a slit which gives you the exact gender, back in this animal, this is a female animal, you can easily see the slit in the ventral.
